Glimt records, 1889-2023
Glimt, a book club for Norwegian-American women, formed on November 1, 1889 in Chicago. The group decided to call the book club Glimt, meaning glimpses in Norwegian. They met every other Tuesday in the home of one of the members.
Dues were set at $3.00 per year, to be used for the purchase of books. The secretary kept track of books received and disbursed. Records show that in the first seven years the group read and disbursed 216 books. At each meeting a book would be read aloud and discussed after coffee was served. During the reading, members often did embroidery or other handwork. In 1907, the group formally decided to read books that emphasized the study of Norwegian history.
Items in the collection include a Glimt history, by-laws, recipe book, secretary records from 1889-2015, and three books by Ruth Sonju Madsen (Open my Eye: Thoughts of a Grandma, So Glad You Asked: Thoughts of a Grandma, Both Sides of the Ocean: The Sonju Family Heritage and Immigration Story). -

- Knud Olsen Hundeby and Anne Guttormsdatter [Nordgarden]: Hundeby Family History: Goplerud, Gonvick, Gonwick, Godtland, Strand by Pamella Wood Solwey
- The couple, married in 1830, hailed from the Grue and Hof parishes, Sølor region of Hedmark fylke/county, Norway. They immigrated to America in 1852 with three children (Gunnerius/17, Oleane Marie/15, and Theodor/10); two children remained behind (Ole K. Strand/20 and Karen Matie/12). The family eventually settled in Silver Lake Township, Worth County, IA. Many years later, their son, Theodore K. Hundeby, recalled the family’s immigration journey: We took passage on the sailing vessel, Fordenskjold, and after eight weeks, landed at Quebec, Canada. "We were then forwarded by canal boats, although we had no means wherewith to pay our fare to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Here we were left, on the sand by the lake, with two dollars in cash and our little baggage. Father started out to see if he could find anyone to take us out in the country. Coming out to Calvin’s Prairie, twenty miles from Milwaukee, he recognized Mr. Brede Vesleaasen, working in the field—the only one who had left Sølor before us. Father asked if he could loan him five dollars so that he could get his family out there if he worked there that summer. …The following August we rigged a pair of steers, an old wagon, and two cows, and started for Decorah, Iowa."
